Young Adults

“The Church needs you, your enthusiasm, your creativity and the joy that is so characteristic of you!” ~ Pope Francis

Young Adults throughout the Archdiocese of Portland gather to grow in faith and fellowship through a variety of spiritual, social, and service activities. The groups include single, college, engaged, and married young adults. The focus is on four areas of growth: Community, Education, Prayer, and Service. While each group’s core consists of those between the age of 18 and 35, everyone is welcome!

Whether you are looking for a Church or spiritual director, a job or roommate, opportunities to meet other young people, or want to begin a ministry yourself. We are grassroots in nature, helping to serve the young adult community.

With a vibrant, diverse, and growing young adult community, the Archdiocese attests to the fact that the Church is young and alive and that you are the future of the Church.

Go Fish is an annual social and faith-filled event hosted by the Newman Center at Oregon State University, open to all Catholic college students in the state of Oregon. This weekend getaway is an opportunity to spend time with community and friends, and to dive deep into your faith with talks and small group discussion, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and a praise and worship concert, all while enjoying the beauty of the Oregon Coast!
